There's unfortunately nazis of all groups. There's trans nazis(4chan /LGBT/ board), black nazis(Kanye West), and even Jewish Nazis(League of German National Jews). Trying to claim a very queer and neurodivergent group is nazis feels a bit off to me
Remember, the actual reason there were buckets of cat litter in classrooms was because there for if there’s a school shooting and students can’t leave the classroom for multiple hours. CHUDs managed to make that about furries.
so if you're at the door, and you're in the fur suit, do you assume it's a joke and knock anyway, at the risk of being treated like shit, or do you walk away, having been successfully otherized by the "joke"?
Uni was a very grey and lonely time for me, but one of the few bright spots was when someone on the quad in a fursuit gave me some candy and a high five on Halloween. I felt completely invisible, so even a small positive interaction like that meant a lot to me, and it's always stuck with me.
So I got nothing against Furries, but I have noticed a weird thing where some will take any occasion that involves costumes as an excuse to dawn the suit, which is usually fine but sometimes I think it comes off as a bit obnoxious.
There's a German community near home that has a traditional Fastnacht which is pretty cool, all the locals make the traditional papier-mâché masks and have a big parade. But the last two years I've went there been a group of furries there, not officially part of the parade but just like having a little side thing. Which just stuck me as being off theme, I wasn't pissed or anything but it seemed a bit disrespectful to the festival organizers who put a lot of work into giving the event a consistent aesthetic.
Idk if I do or should feel similarly about furries on Halloween. Guess it really doesn't matter.
Edit: thought I should mention, there were other people there in not-on-theme costumes as well, like super hero stuff, and that also irked me a bit. Seemed like the town was trying to keep a consistent traditional look going on so the occasional Spider-Man seemed gauche to me.
I think it's okay for furries to show up to events that aren't exclusively for furries if it's a furry adjacent thing. Furries are sort of seen as an extension of general nerd culture so showing up at ComicCon in a Fur Suit is fine. I think think going "oh there's costumes, I guess I'll show in a fur suit" even when it's a cultural festival that has nothing even tangentially related to furry culture seems a bit gauche.
